This lovely ladies work kinda' has a hint of the Tim Walker quality about it, just maybe not quite so English which may have something to do with the fact that she's American. Check out her blog: http://wildflowersphotos.com/blog/ .When I get married, this girl is hired as the wedding photographer. Love her 'Princess and the

If I had the chance to be inside this mans head for the day, I'm betting it would be the most bizarre day of my life. He has the sort of visions that most only get after the consumption of too much alcohol and he turns these visions into a beautiful, photographic reality which, if one were to jump into, they would be caught up in the fairy tale of their dreams.I adore Tim Walkers work in every way and he has provided me with so much inspiration over the past few years. I was drawn to his work before I was even aware of it, having collected many a bizarre image from various magazines and adverts, I came to realize that they were all the products of the same brilliant, but quite obviously insane brain. I mean, who thinks of spraying five Persian cats candy pink and yellow, and then go on to photograph their disgruntled faces?An artistic genius. that's who.Seriously cannot sing this mans praises loud enough.

These images have a nonsensical dream-like quality to them which I find captivating and beautiful. Sadly I have no idea who the photographer is as I would love to see more of their work, however I feel that these images will be of inspiration to me at some point.

A nineteen year old girl who has an interest in art, theatre, photography and all things vintage. I was born in the wrong era, hence I spend most of my time looking to the past. I am currently studying Art History at University. An unfortunate characteristic of being incapable of coping with decision making meant that it took me long enough to choose one, but I got there in the end. I want to design a dress for Florence and my dearest ambition is to meet Tim Walker. If I achieve either of these two things in my lifetime I will die a very happy girl.

This blog is mainly for my benefit, a place to keep track of the inspiration and artists that I come across on my travels over the internet, city, country and very occasional the world. However if anyone other than myself ever happens to read this then hi, you are most welcome here, and I do hope that you find something that inspires you as much as it did me.
